Hi there!
After watching some Sly Flourish YouTube videos, I picked up the A5E Trials and Treasures book as well as the Monstrous Menagerie book. So far, I am absolutely thrilled with these two resources - when I add in the Flee, Mortals resource, I feel like I have so many ways to challenge my combat-focused 5e group!
The one feature I wish the Monstrous Menagerie had that it doesn't currently have is a "salvage" information block for each creature, similar to the Lairs of Etharis from Ghostfire Gaming. For example, to craft an Animated Shield, you need the swords from a marilith, and while this information is in T&T, it isn't in the MM. Having information like:
Salvage: the swords from a defeated or deceased marilith can be used to craft an Animated Shield.
directly after the monster's stat block would help streamline a lot of post-battle "what loot do we find?" questions from the players. Perhaps if there's ever a second edition or an errata version of the pdf, this would be a feature that other DMs would appreciate!
Thanks very much for these outstanding resources!
